The Cathedral, the Baptistery and Brunelleschi's Dome.

The Cathedral with its facade in white and green marble abducts the eye. The bell tower was designed by Giotto although he has never seen it finished. The Baptistery is one of the oldest buildings in Florence and is there from the fourth century.

Ponte Vecchio in Florence

The most beautiful bridge in Florence and one of the most photographed in the world. When the Vasari Corridor was built on the Ponte Vecchio, the butchers and the greengrocers were moved out in favor of goldsmiths and craftsmen, which were considered more appropiated trades to the beauty of the place.

The Uffizi Gallery
